Ode to Gumby's Pizza

But mostly an ode to Pokey Stix

Ode to Gumby's Pizza

If you are a part of the elite and beautiful group who make up the student body at The University of Florida, then you are more than likely aware of an extremely special place here in Gainesville. This magical, wonderful, extraordinary place is  commonly known as Gumby's Pizza. Gumby's is special in a way that no other establishment is. It provides nurture, care, love, and Pokey Stix to every student it serves. 

What are Pokey Stix, you ask? Pokey Stix are pieces of cheesy bread hand-crafted by the Gods themselves. These Stix are accompanied by an endless variety of delightful dipping sauces, which have been scientifically proven to cure an epidemic that has rocked college campuses nationwide: the drunchies. I have never experienced the phenomenon of the drunk munchies, mostly due to my pristine set of life choices, but I have heard that it happens quite often within the college community.

In addition to helping students rid themselves of these horrid drunchies, Pokey Stix can provide emotional support that no one else can. They will, without a doubt, turn your frown upside down. If you are going through romantic speed bumps, or are just generally upset about what you have decided to do with your night, Pokey Stix will soothe your worries. The magic cheese bread will melt your sadness away faster than an FSU student solving a basic math problem -- give or take 45 to 50 minutes. 

I have never actually been inside of Gumby's Pizza, mostly resorting to the beautiful invention of delivery, but I am assuming that it is located at the end of a rainbow. I am also assuming that unicorns are responsible for the making of the Pokey Stix.  

In conclusion, if you are one of the few who have not tasted this beautiful creation that is Pokey Stix, I strongly suggest calling (352) 374-8629, as soon as possible. I love you, Gumby's. Don't ever change --  unless you move your restaurant next to my dorm.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
